In Precise, ssh_config's man page correctly states that multiple hosts (ex: Host A B C) are to be separated by spaces and that multiple from="" (ex: from="example.com,192.2.0.1") in the authorized_keys files are comma-separated.

Still when I put two hosts as comma separated list into my config file (like <cite>Host bullock,dickstone</cite>) the following config is used for neither one. If instead I provide the host list as space separated (like <cite>Host bullock dickstone</cite>) the following configuration is used for both systems. This is either a bug in the program or a bug in the documentation. Since ssh works as stated in the man page on OpenSuSE 10.3 I doubt the later one.
